ABOUT MH&P
OUR HISTORY:
Originally founded in 1960 as Samuel J. Mann & Associates, the firm first served manufacturers such as Becton-Dickinson, Timeplex, and Salton Housewares. Then, in 1969 George Horton joined the firm after 5 years as a designer at Corning Glass Works; in 1973 he purchased the firm and it ultimately became Mann-Horton & Associates, Inc. in 1978. Throughout the ensuing years, MH&A has expanded the industries it serves to include high-technology and industrial firms as well as toy and consumer goods manufacturers. Michael Pantaleoni joined MH&A in 1986 and has since led our transition into computer-based design and development for all our programs. Most recently, on January 1, 2002 Mann-Horton & Associates, Inc. became Mann-Horton & Pantaleoni, Inc.

HOW WE WORK TODAY:
We work with you to provide the best in product design and visual communications. When a program is approved, our design staff begins the process of meeting your needs - this includes research into your competitors and the marketplace, cost estimates, and ergonomic evaluations prior to any "design" work taking place. In many cases, we also meet with users to discuss their thoughts and ideas and what improvements they would like to see.
Once this information is in-hand, we begin the actual design process. Throughout this phased process, we provide you with renderings, drawings, details, quotes, samples or any other item that will assist in providing you with the design result you want. At every phase, there are built-in approval steps that assure you that no design gets too far along without you having the opportunity to comment, revise, or alter the design.
The end result is a design that all participants have had a share in creating and benefits from the combination of you and MH&P.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU:
If you have a design program under consideration, give us a call. There is no charge to sit down, discuss your requirements, and have MH&P give you a proposal- in many cases, a face-to-face meeting isn't even necessary which saves you time.
We bring an experienced viewpoint, resources, and manpower together for your benefit. So give us a shout. We're easy to contact.
